1> Agreed, the potential for the loss of the stories due to the whims of others on reddit is a bit of a worry. The safest option really is for them to be on /r/m59gar where Matt has the control to ensure they stay online in the form he chooses. As for future arrangements, we'll need to wait and see where this all goes. I'm more than happy to open up this server for hosting more, but converting reddit formatted content to mediawiki can be a bit painful.
2> I believe there are a few, mostly from /r/m59gar where a number of people have posted related (or at least partially related stories). I usually put the user contributed entries into the optional extras section as they have no confirmed status as canon or non-canon, and the primary storylines Matt has been publishing generally don't rely on them for story progression. I'm more than happy to have both canon and non-canon user contributed stories listed, but as to defining them explicitly as canon or non canon, that would be something I'd prefer to leave to Matt to decide. The optional extras section is getting quite large now, so eventually we might want to look at moving it to its own specific page, where we can split up what is and isn't canon.
3> This is a tough one to address. I don't want to detract or take away from the additional content in the published versions, but on the other hand the aim is to try and keep things mostly as accurate as possible. Its a delicate balance, so I suspect the best option for now is to work based on what information we have. Where there are large spoilers or similar that only exist in the published editions, we simply remove the conflicting information from the wiki and write around it. I think non-critical information being on the wiki shouldn't be an issue. The wiki is a useful resource for new readers or those who want to see where links between the stories exist (and how they link), but in no way is it meant to compete with or be a replacement for any of the actual stories themselves.
